Check out this press conference that launched the @IPCC_CH Synthesis report exactly a week ago. I was a part of it, along with five other scientists and the Chair of IPCC. The SG of the UN delivered the opening remarks. Ever so grateful to have been a part of this epic journey.

India's COVID crisis is not because we are a "poor" developing country with no money to spare. It is because we chose to spend money on building temples, statues and grand Parliament buildings, instead of putting much smaller sums needed to vaccinate everyone. Hate got us here.

Gentle reminder: Good use of my tax money = evacuating stranded Indian students in a war zone. Bad use of my tax money = Full page paid advert of imagined achievements of leaders who have been elected to govern but are doing PR stunts instead. Yes, that’s the tweet.

The virus we worked so hard to avoid finally got us. It got us even though we haven't stepped out of our home and no one visited us in the last 12 days and before that, whenever we went out, we used N95. But then COVID is spreading like wildfire in my city. Mild symptoms so far.

The ongoing #heatwave in #Kolkata is upending children's education & daily lives. With access to thermal comfort, my children & my father have still fallen sick. The condition is beyond imagination for those living in informal settlements. Yet, all of this is being normalised.👇🏾

1/4. One of my insights while working on the IPCC report is how difficult it is to convey the truth that excessive consumption, fuelled by fossil fuel-led growth where consumerist lifestyles are celebrated has brought us to our present climate crisis.

Because that’s how patriarchy works. Same way as racism works, even in science. If you are white, you get to write global reports. If brown or black, you only write on your region. One colleague, when told I am leading a IPCC chapter on water, asked if it was South Asia chapter!

Genuine question: Why are countries like the UK stopping their scientist from appearing alongside Russian ones on scientific panels when they did no such thing with US ones when US pulled out of Paris Agreement? Isn’t killing the planet just as heinous as wars that kill people?

Extreme heat is a policy blindspot compared to hazards like droughts & floods. High heat with humidity is a sure killer. A lot more needs to happen in this space. Also relevant for agri-food systems as farmers and ag labourers are highly exposed @CGIAR

My latest paper in @AEPP_AAEA I argue that while #GreenRevolution meant that #India is food self sufficient today, that self sufficiency came at the cost of its groundwater and electricity. This needs to change, as #climatechange will exacerbate India’s water crisis. 1/
